Tonight on the Invention Laboratory we discuss licensing and how to create relationships with companies that you’d like to invent for.

If you have never invented a product before or have had little success to date you are probably asking yourself; “What are these companies REALLY looking for?”. What kind of products do they want or need? Which company is the best fit for my product? And if you weren’t asking these questions at all and have been rapid firing your idea at any company that will listen....you really need to listen closely.

Tonight on the Invention Laboratory we talk about Merchandising and the moral dilemma it presents in this day and age. A question was asked by Erika in Los Angeles, CA this week and it really had me thinking about the retail landscape and what it means to capitalize on current events.

She writes; Hi Kurtis! I was curious, what your opinion is on merchandising during a pandemic? There seem to be a lot of Taboo products making their rounds as people are stuck in their homes during this health crisis and looming election. Is it acceptable to capitalize on current events? Will business partners frown upon your decision to sell certain products when considering your invention.” Thanks…Erica.
